Straight Punch In College

Decent Essays
Last summer, I have taken the boxing training classes with a great coach Lee. At the first class, he told me about many basic knowledge and information about the boxing. We started with the most basic action: straight punch. We spent much time in the straight punch.He would set a challenging goal for me, for example, make 10 standard straight punch. It is a little harder for me because this task asked for both strength and speed. However, I did it with great effort. At the same time, he would give me many feed-backs about my action. Sometimes, I forgot to take back my fist after the punch. Instead of yelling at me like other coaches, he would explain to me that it is essential in the boxing for the fist to go back to its original position after

    A recent study has found that ‘One Punch Assaults’ have cost 90 Australian lives since 2000, most fuelled by drugs and alcohol abuse. Due to the increase in Youth Violence, Queensland’s Newman Government, as part of its Safe Night Out Legislation Amendment Act, 2014 has introduced the offence of ‘Unlawful Striking causing death.’ This recently developed law has a tougher penalty than manslaughter because it eliminates certain defences that are available under the charge of manslaughter. In the Criminal Code 1899, (QLD) Section 314A states that for the offence of Unlawful striking causing death, the prosecution must prove beyond reasonable doubt that the defendant unlawfully struck another person to the head or neck and caused the death…

    Nine months out of the year I am with my coaches for wrestling. Spending so much time with them has led me to get to know them very well over the years. My two coaches for wrestling, Esvelt and Falcon, when looked at initially, appear immensely different. Their facial expressions to their body types differ significantly. Once they begin to talk and coach, the similarities in their attitudes at tournaments and their coaching styles become evident.…

    Have you noticed that Physical Education seems to be a narrowing field? I strongly believe that there is a reason we need to keep PE in schools and in society today. Unfortunately, I feel as though many of the educators and teachers today aren’t taking it seriously. They aren’t doing enough to help the students become physically active, instead, the teachers just sit there because it is a job to them, nothing more. If the teachers had a better personal philosophy on what they actually want to teach, then I feel like PE would be a much stronger field and everyone would want it around.…

    Coach Wooden, in this reading, teaches me and many others who read how you can’t just wish for success, being successful is something you have to work at every day. Also, not only working everyday like getting more practice and more repetition, that is not what Coach Wooden is trying to teach here he teaches that being successful comes from inside. He explains how in order to be successful you have to have traits like loyalty, self control, confidence, cooperation, and of course skill. Reading about Coach Wooden’s Pyramid of Success is really something I agree with 100%, I am not sure if it is because I am also an athlete so I am able to relate to his motivation and his way of words. I mainly agree, because he is right about all that he says everything he mentions in the pyramid are all things you not only need to be a successful athlete, but to be a successful person which is why I agree with what Coach Wooden has to say so much, because anyone can read this book and learn from it not just…

    I started my journey in health and fitness at a young age. I was always one of those kids who just could not sit still - so I was into everything, climbing trees, riding bikes, swimming, sports, you name it I was into it. However my discipline to this way of life came when I discovered basketball, it was when I was about 13/14 and shot up to practically the height I am now, so my teachers said why don't you try and develop your skills as a basketball player as I was taller than most of my teachers at 13 which lead them to think I'd grow to be some kind of 7 foot giant, but unfortunately that didn't happen, would've been cool though.…
